“SAS will give our managers aggregated reports and KPIs on business drivers such as energy production by country, technology and individual plant,” said Alessandro Caleffi, Head of Applications Software at Falck Renewables. “This is important, given the geographic distribution of our systems and the heterogeneity of the technologies we use. These can be programmable, such as waste-to-energy, and nonprogrammable, like biomass, wind and solar.”

SAS Financial Management eliminates the need for nightly batch processing to upload current data. Reports refresh automatically as budget and planning inputs are approved, so everyone sees consistent, current and accurate real-time information. Budget variances surface quickly on a dashboard to show when actual and expected performance begins to diverge. Management can thus predict and react faster, and make more informed decisions.
